00:00It was evacuated to the residents who live near a dam in Ilocos Norte.

00:06It was hit by a flood and was completely destroyed.

00:10The repair work is not yet complete.

00:13Live on JPSoriano, JP.

00:19Mel, Kapusos, at this time, it is weak, but it continues to rain.

00:23Here in a large part of Ilocos Norte, this is how it is in the past few hours.

00:28But the flood is heading to the direction of the West Philippine Sea.

00:33The local officials are still not yet able to camp.

00:36And they are really trying to make sure that the residents are safe here.

00:45Heavy rain and strong winds were experienced throughout the afternoon in the area of Ilocos Norte,

00:51accompanied by a flood.

00:52But even before the flood hit, the residents who live near Ilocos Norte and Dyke were evacuated early.

00:59This is next to the damaged dam in front of Padsan River.

01:03This is the dam that was damaged by Hurricane Julian.

01:07The repair work is ongoing, but it was hit by Hurricane Christine.

01:11And on the other side, that's the West Philippine Sea.

01:14That's why the residents here were evacuated to the evacuation center in Pangambanga

01:19where soil erosion occurred.

01:21The dam that was damaged was eroding.

01:25That's why their house is nearby.

01:28More than 50 families, or more than 100 individuals,

01:33are currently staying in the evacuation center near Gabu National High School.

01:38One of the evacuated residents is John Alin and his children.

01:42We are worried because we have a lot of children.

01:46Our children are still small, that's why we want to stay here.

01:51John Alin's children were the first to be evacuated.

01:54But when they found out that their fur baby, or Simadel, was not included,

02:00John Alin immediately brought it back.

02:02We went back to the house, even though the wind was strong,

02:06just to get it, sir.

02:08Life is not easy in evacuation centers, especially for children.

02:13This is a reminder to them that there will be a storm and a possible disaster.

02:19But some parents are trying to make their children feel that everything will be okay

02:25and that the storm will pass.

02:27Like this mother who is joining her children in recording TikTok videos.

02:35Standby.

02:39And ma'am, our countrymen who are in the evacuation center,

02:42according to the local officials of LAWAG,

02:44will remain in the evacuation center until the Philippine Area of Responsibility

02:48does not release the storm Christine.

02:50And that is the latest from Ilocos Norte.

02:53Back to you, ma'am.

02:54Thank you very much, JP Soriano.
